Bugaboo funny gardener card

Hi, I hope you're having a great weekend, mine is over as it's almost Sunday midnight here in Australia so I better rush to get to bed.

I have made a funny card today using a gorgeous Bugaboo image, I love these funnies and will be sharing more of them in the near future. I thought my mother-in-law who loves gardening would get a kick out of this one and it's her Birthday in October so I'm glad to have made it in plenty of time.

How beautiful is the vine? I designed this product for my company Flourish with a Bling and we named it Jack after Jack and the beanstalk.

Hi everyone,

I know I've gone mad creating since I got back from overseas but I can't help myself, hopefully it shows how much I love making cards.

My Nan's 90th Birthday card

Hi everyone,

Well, this was what my Paris and England trip was all about, surprising my Nan in England for her 90th Birthday! She was very excited to see my sister and I and we had a wonderful time catching up with her and all our family there. Paris was a little side trip which was amazing!! 

Anyway, lol, back to my card, I printed out the sentiments on my printer. First I printed them on normal paper then lined the sentiments up and lightly stuck my patterned paper over the normal paper then re-printed it so it printed on my tags. Easy!!

The gorgeous bling flowers are a new addition to Flourish with a Bling's beautiful range of products and you can check them out by clicking HERE. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

Hi to all my wonderful followers, 

Just thought I better let you know I'm overseas at the moment hence the lack of blog postings. I've been in Paris and England for the last week and a half (I live in Australia) and so I haven't been able to post any cards on my blog while I'm away. Thought I better let you know where I was just in case anyone noticed I was missing lol.

I'm loving my holiday, my sister and I have come over to England to surprise my Nan for her 90th Birthday (it's okay, we didn't surprise her too much lol, was a little worried). We stopped first in Paris which was also beautiful.

When I get back I have a couple of cards to show you already that I made before I left.

I hope you're all having a wonderful Summer (or winter),
